Why I think the burqua should be banned on health grounds.

I was very pleased to see the Daily Mail article called Muslim woman, 39, is revealed as One Nation’s shock star candidate for Parliament – as she calls for burqa to be BANNED and slams women’s ‘lame excuses’ for wearing the Islamic garb. (1)

I have always been a firm believer in banning of the burka.

If you see Here’s the truth behind the veil (2) written An Associate Professor of Islamic studies it is written that the only thing that comes remotely close to a Burqua in the Quran is a WHITE garment called a purdah which is to protect a woman against sunburn or a sandstorm. There is no religious requirement.

The Islamic countries of Cameroon, Chad, Congo, Niger and Turkey have banned it on security grounds (3.)

From a health point of view that lady is not exposed to sunlight. She can’t make vitamin D. She can’t absorb calcium and under the weight of the body the bones of the leg can bow- it’s called rickets and in severe cases it is life-threatening.
